Was it really that mysterious?
Lin Ke raised an eyebrow, but turned to the next page without hesitation.
Whether it concerned his curiosity, himself, the common people, the realm, or the Sage Emperor, he had to keep reading, no matter what.
"...Lin Xuanji, my father, has already devoured his own children through all sorts of methods!"
At the very first sentence, Lin Ke could not help sucking in a breath of cold air.
Devoured his children?!
What was going on?!
Lin Ke trembled violently inside, as though he had plunged into an ice cellar.
Lin Xuanji had used all sorts of methods to devour his own children...
Was this true or false?
If it was false, why would Lin Xiao lie? What was he after?
If it was true...
Lin Ke steadied his mind and continued reading.
"Lin Xuanji's Confucian Path is a Confucian Path that eats people!"
"Though I never received an education growing up, even I know that this cannot possibly be the path of Confucius!"
"Lin Xuanji's Confucian Path contains principles of higher and lower, noble and lowly, ruler and subject, father and son, and none of these principles can escape the word 'rites'!"
"His Sacred Path must draw upon the power of the Way of Rites to grow!"
"Deepening the difference in standing between father and son, between master and servant, between ruler and subject..."
"All of these can nurture his Sacred Path!"
"Through a twist of fate, I did not grow up in the Lin Residence. Yet when I saw that crowd of brothers and sisters of mine living like walking corpses, their standing as low as slaves', I knew..."
"Lin Xuanji's path was nearing completion!"
By this point, Lin Ke had broken out in a cold sweat.
The Way of Rites ate people?
*No,
